What does atmosphere technical (at) represent?

It is a non-SI pressure unit equal to one kilogram-force per square centimetre, commonly used historically in engineering.

Why convert atmosphere technical to newton/square centimeter?

To translate legacy pressure values expressed in kgf/cm² into force per unit area units compatible with modern engineering contexts.

Are these units part of the International System of Units (SI)?

No, both atmosphere technical and newton/square centimeter are non-SI units, so further conversion to pascals may be required for standard usage.
